Accommodations

A person is taken back to their college days when they arrive at the Hazelden Center City facility.

The sprawling, utilitarian campus does not look anything like the resort-like facilities that are offered by rehab centers dotting Southern California, but it does represent Hazelden’s idea of serious sobriety.

The rooms at the center are clean and modern, but it is basic. While most of the rooms are shared, Hazelden does offer private ones, but under certain circumstances.

Food

The food at the center is a hearty Midwestern cuisine and has a lot of meat and potatoes.

Treatment Program

Residents, upon admission, participate in a detailed assessment, which will allow the treatment team to develop a customized treatment plan.

The treatment method at Hazelden uses a combination of the 12-step process, evidence-based treatment, and integrated mental health treatment, which also includes medication management, as necessary.

During the residential program, the residents take part in group and individual counseling, attend lectures on addiction, relapse prevention strategies, and life skills workshops. Hazelden’s Center City facility offers a specialized track for professionals.

The center also provides help to clients who are battling opioid addiction. The rehab provides these clients with medication-assisted treatment.

Outpatient options offered by Hazelden’s Center City facility include a Partial Hospitalization Program.

Staff
